Chapter 400: The wall fell and everyone pushed it down (Part 2)
When an avalanche comes, no snowflake is innocent.
This is the most appropriate word to describe Zhang Weiping's situation at this moment.
If Li Chen's voice is a clarion call for counterattack, the release of "October Siege" is a pioneer.
Zhang Weiping was already in disarray and began to engage in price promotions without respecting martial ethics.

“Although the New Year’s Eve is known as a shopping competition between five New Year blockbusters, the real heavyweight shopping is between “Warriors”, “October Siege” and “Three Guns” ”
“Yesterday, “October Siege” was officially released and beat “October Siege” on the first day. "Three Guns" is close to "Wushuang" with a box office of 30.5 million on its first day, and has become the film with the most screenings. "
""Wushuang" has been in theaters for three weeks and has a relatively small impact."
"However, "Three Guns", which has just been released for a week, is not willing to be at a disadvantage."
"We announced that we will reduce the price by 5 yuan on the basis of the original lowest ticket price, hoping to mobilize the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie."

""October Siege" quickly became a The king of film schedules! "
"Before the release of "October Siege", "Warriors" and "Three Guns" were the kings of film schedules in major theaters across the country, and firmly occupied the top and second place at the box office in the mainland. "
"The release of "October Siege" not only quickly took away a large number of viewers of "Three Guns", but also greatly reduced the film schedule space of "Three Guns"."
"From the first day of the official release of "October Siege" on December 18, in addition to Beijing and Shenyang, the film schedules in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Rongcheng, Shancheng, Hangzhou, Xi'an and Shenzhen all have more "October Siege" than "Three Guns" "And "Wushuang"!"
Wanda is the first theater chain to reduce the film schedule of "Three Guns".
Since the beginning of this year, Wanda Cinema’s market share in the country has ranked first in the country for the first time.
This is almost in sync with the explosive development trend of the boss king’s real estate kingdom.
Although Wanda entered the market late, the speed at which the newcomers caught up was dazzling.
At least five of the other seven theater chains have long-standing grievances caused by Zhang Weiping's two domineering and unilateral requests to increase their share of the revenue.
It’s just that because they are the upstream producer and have Lao Mouzi’s golden brand in hand, they dare not be angry but dare not resist.
Now with Wanda taking the lead and Li Chen sitting behind, the seven theater chains do not need to be connected in series at all, as if they have made an appointment.
The filming schedule of "Three Guns" is in eight major ticket warehouse cities except Beijing and Shenyang. On average, each city has 300 to 400 fewer shows than "Fortress Besieged".
“Boss, this Mr. Zhang probably doesn’t even have tears when he cries now. He is so overwhelmed by everyone.” Yang Silu said happily.
Li Chen behaved very normally, neither gloating nor overly sympathetic.
"Chen Kexin does have two skills. He can not only direct but also understand marketing."
Yang Siwei nodded and said: "What the boss said is that I didn't expect that the General Administration would also step forward to replace "Fortress Besieged" Platform, I didn’t expect Li Yuchun’s fans to be so crazy.”
Yang Siwei admitted that she had underestimated the Super Girl champion.
The reason why "October Siege" can quickly become the king of film schedules actually comes from two aspects.
The first is the influence of the film's leading actor Li Yuchun.
Li Yuchun's fans had already begun to "get ready to move" as early as the filming of the film, and made it clear that they would firmly support their idol's screen debut.
Zhang Yibai, director of the theme song MV for "October Siege", once predicted that Li Yuchun's popularity could drive at least 50 million in box office for "October Siege".
But the actual situation was even more intense than he expected. As soon as the film was released, theaters all over the country booked theaters one after another, so much so that some theaters had to open special "green channels!"
Many fans said they would watch it at least twice, and some loyal fans bought 10 tickets at once to show their support for Li Yuchun.
Judging from the current situation, the Li Yuchun effect can at least drive nearly 100 million in box office for "Fortress Besieged".
Coupled with the official website, the film was praised by the General Administration and the Film Bureau, and was hailed as one of the "Best Chinese Films of the Year".
With the official outcome, the mainstream media is even more praising.
New picture of the CEO’s office.
Zhang Weiping's face was dark and long, and the atmosphere in the office was so oppressive that people couldn't breathe.
The three New Picture executives stood in front of Zhang Weiping's desk and did not dare to look at Zhang Weiping's shining eyes.
“A bunch of losers! I support you all by eating dry food! If the reduction of five yuan doesn’t work, then reduce it again!”
“Give you half a day, I want to see that there are substitutes everywhere on the Internet. Those who complain of injustice!”
“Get out of here if you can’t do it!”
Zhang Weiping sprayed spit that made the three of them unable to open their eyes. When they heard about it, they felt as if they were being amnesty, and no one was left in a flash.
Zhang Weiping sat on the chair angrily, breathing heavily.
The box office of "Three Guns" has just exceeded 150 million, while "Wushuang" has already exceeded 450 million!
Who the hell is the three-gun guy? 150 million for one shot has become a joke.
Zhang Weiping knows very well that when "Avatar" hits after New Year's Day, that Cameron has already entered Beijing.
If we can't get 250 million before the release of "Avatar", we won't even get 300 million!
What a shame, these bastards are so snobbish. With Li Chen, they forgot about me, Zhang!
Chen Kexin was not only smiling on his face, but also smiling in his heart.
He likes Li Chen more and more. As the saying goes, when the snipe and the clam compete, the fisherman benefits.
You can't stop luck when it comes.
"Director Chen, "Besieged" was well received and squeezed out the film schedule for "Three Guns" upon its release. Do you think "Three Guns" is a bad movie as Director Li said?"
< br>Chan Kexin and the director of "Fortress Besieged" split into two groups, striking while the iron was hot, and each led half of the creative team to continue the road show across the country.
Facing tough questions from reporters.
Chen Kexin had a kind smile on his face: "I haven't bothered to watch "Three Guns" yet, so it's hard to comment. Let's talk about "Fortress Besieged", which we have been honing for ten years."< br>
Biji Ruxiao’s heart was so itchy that she really wanted to shout out to the reporters and media present: “My husband and I have both watched the trailer for Three Shots, it’s a joke, this is also a movie! ”
But before she came, she had been solemnly warned by Chen Kexin: Be careful!
Liu Dehua, the producer and star of "Wushuang", was naturally asked by reporters about his views on "Three Guns".
Liu Dehua’s high emotional intelligence never went offline.
"Hey, don't mess with me. I'm busier than Chen Kexin. "Empire of Heaven" hasn't been finished yet. How can I have time to watch a movie."
This Chinese New Year episode was picked by Zhang Weiping With the rise of Enter the Dragon and the demise of Li Chen and the release of "Fortress Under Siege", major theaters have tacitly lowered their film schedules for "Three Guns".
Anyone who understands understands that Li Chen's appeal at the box office has already surpassed Zhang Yimou's.
The history of Zhang Weiping trying to use the eight major theater chains to increase the box office is gone forever.
Huayi is listed on the market, Bona is also sharpening its knives, and Chengtian is borrowing chickens to lay eggs in Hong Kong. From now on, it will be an era of competition for hegemony.
